KABC LOS ANGELES -- Tires on a DHL cargo plane caught on fire during an emergency landing at Los Angeles International Airport on Wednesday night, an intense moment caught on video.
The incident unfolded around 11 p.m. Wednesday as the plane arrived at LAX from Phoenix. Video shows the moment the plane touched down with flames shooting from underneath it.
